In the front hall, a young man in his thirties, with a gloomy face, sat at the head of the guest seat, and there were four samurai standing beside him, whose temperament was very similar to that of the shadow, and they were all dead soldiers.

Needless to say, this person is the famous Li Pengcheng.

Although his clothes are not luxurious, a superb jade wrench on his thumb is worth at least 100,000 taels, which is enough to buy two mansions in Changxing City.

In addition, because Xu Rui is still young, people who are close to him will call him by his name, the elders will even call him a kid, and others will also call him Lord Xu, or Xu Gongzi.

Although there is nothing wrong with Li Pengcheng calling Xu Rui Captain Xu, the meaning of this is worth pondering, and the most likely result is to deliberately emphasize Xu Rui's seven-grade official position and quietly give him a dismissal.

The appearance is low-key, the heart is flamboyant, and the comer is not good, Xu Rui has a general impression of Li Pengcheng in an instant.

"Brother Lao Li has been waiting for a long time, I am really ashamed to be here, and I hope Brother Li will not be surprised."

Xu Rui put on a smiling face and hugged his fists to make amends.

Li Pengcheng snorted coldly and said: "Li is not talented, but he is also from a wealthy family, even if he goes to King Yu, he will never be so slack." ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yu is a nobleman of Tianhuang, naturally Corporal Lixian, born in a poor family, I haven't read a few books, and I don't know a few truths, how dare I compare with His Royal Highness King Yu, don't you say?" ”

As soon as Li Pengcheng came up, he put on his identity, and Xu Rui played a scoundrel with him, aren't you from a wealthy family, didn't you move out of King Yu to press me, then I will simply go to the ground, and you still have to reason with the scoundrel?

Mr. Dongli said that Xu Rui is a saint, and Xu Rui said that he has not read, what can you do to me?

What's more, Xu Rui said that he was not as good as King Yu, and Li Pengcheng could not refute it anyway, otherwise where would he put the dignity of the royal family?

This time, Li Pengcheng seemed to have punched the cotton, and after waiting for half an hour, he could only hold back the fire in his belly.

"Hmph, I'm here to negotiate with Captain Xu, this is Captain Xu's hospitality?"

After holding it for a long time, Li Pengcheng coldly squeezed out a sentence.

Xu Rui said with a smile: "Today's situation is special, I really neglected Brother Li, I will compensate you next, Brother Li is here to negotiate, he won't be so unsympathetic, right?" ”

Li Pengcheng snorted heavily and didn't speak, but his face finally looked better.

Just now Xu Rui threw out a soft nail, showing his attitude, at this time, he will accept it when he sees it, even if he gives Li Pengcheng steps, he will naturally borrow the slope to get off the donkey, so as not to be embarrassed.

"I don't know what Brother Li wants to negotiate with me here?"

Xu Rui didn't want to fight with him anymore, so he simply sat down and got straight to the point.

Li Pengcheng took a sip of tea, glanced at Xu Rui and said, "I'll give you a chance." ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui smiled even more: "There are such good things, then I really have to listen to them." ”

Li Pengcheng finally showed a smile and said arrogantly: "I heard that Captain Xu took over a big business from the Ministry of War, but he didn't have the salt and iron survey and approval of the Ministry of Households, so he never started construction?" ”

Xu Rui nodded, and said distressedly: "Yes, I was young, I didn't know that there was still a matter of investigation and approval beforehand, seeing that time was passing rapidly, if I missed the delivery time, it would be a felony, and I was really anxious." ”

Li Pengcheng laughed and said: "It's just the salt and iron survey and approval of the household department, what's so difficult about this, it's better for you and me to cooperate, Captain Xu handed over that batch of weapons to Baiye Commercial Bank to do, you just wait to collect the money." ”

"Oh? I don't know how much I can get? ”

Xu Rui asked.

Li Pengcheng said: "Twenty percent, I can allow you to sit and receive a profit of two percent of the total price, how about it?" ”

Xu Rui said lightly: "Although I didn't directly participate in the production, these weapons were all designed by my own hands, and Baiye Commercial Bank inserted a kick, but I was only allowed to have a total price of 20%, I'm afraid it's lower, right?" ”

Li Pengcheng shook his head and said: "Captain Xu's words are wrong, the so-called design is just a strange and ingenious skill, the real difficulty is to turn the drawings into real objects, which of the materials and workers is not a large amount of money?"

Baiye Commercial Bank seems to have been stained with your Captain Xu's light, but behind it you have to come up with real money to invest, just take this batch of new crossbow arrows from the Ministry of War, minus various costs, it is just to make some hard-earned money, and it is not bad to have a profit of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.

I promise you 20% of the total price, that is, 320,000 taels, you only need to provide a few drawings, you can get almost the same profit as Baiye Commercial Bank, it's not less, right? ”

This man is really as black as ink......

Xu Rui sneered in his heart when he heard this, he had already calculated that the account given to Xiao Jinwu at that time was only the cost of the sample, and once it entered mass production, the cost would be greatly reduced, at most only one-third of the original.

What's more, Baiye Commercial Bank already controls the output of various raw materials, even if there is no lathe driven by a water turbine, the cost will not be higher than that of Galaxy Group, and the input is at least more than one million taels.

He's talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he's robbing money nakedly.

However, Li Pengcheng thinks very highly of himself, and just this million taels of profit can't make him condescend to come to him in person, Xu Rui wants to know what he is trying to do.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui smiled and shook his head: "Thank you Brother Li for your generosity, this matter is ordered directly from the Ministry of War, it's not that I can't trust you, but once you go on a business trip, you can't afford it, so it's better to do it yourself yourself, I hope Brother Li will forgive me." ”

Hearing this, a trace of unhappiness flashed on Li Pengcheng's face, but he was instantly covered up: "Xu Zuoling is doing business with the imperial court for the first time, and it is understandable to be cautious, but there are so many salt and iron surveys and approvals, you don't think that Baiye Commercial Bank will give it to you in vain, right?" ”

Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "Cutting off people's financial paths is like killing parents, of course I don't want to do things in the next place, the so-called business is business, doing business is seeking benefits, and I believe that as long as the interests are enough, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, right?" ”

"Good!"

Li Pengcheng laughed: "Captain Xu is quick to speak, since this is the case, I don't have to be embarrassed by you, Baiye Commercial Bank can let out 20% of the salt and iron survey and approval, and you don't have to go to the household department to delay the time, I will send someone to do everything." ”

"Oh? The conditions are so generous, I don't know what Brother Li wants from here? ”

Xu Yi is very profitable, the plan is very big, Xu Rui thought in his heart, but asked silently on his face.

Li Pengcheng's body leaned forward: "I want the authorized production of all the treasures of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!" ”

Here it comes!

Xu Rui's pupils shrank, and he asked quietly: "Do you know the rules of authorized production?" ”

Li Pengcheng smiled faintly, leaned back in his chair and said, "Clearly, you are responsible for providing raw materials and extracting at least thirty percent of the profits." But that's the rule for others, and all kinds of business firms have always set their own rules. ”

"Oh? I don't know what the rules are here, Brother Li? ”

"It's very simple, all the treasures of Tianbao Pavilion have been bought at one time, 200,000 taels each, or if Xu Xiaowei is interested, he can also directly merge Tianbao Pavilion into Baiye Commercial Bank, and I will allow you to take a share."

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Rui laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart Li Pengcheng finally tried to see the dagger, what kind of investigation and approval, what kind of cooperation is a cover-up, he wanted to swallow Tianbao Pavilion directly from the beginning, it was really a good calculation.

Li Pengcheng also laughed, but he sneered.

"Captain Xu, I'm afraid you don't know how big the Baiye Commercial Bank is, let's put it this way, even the Holy Lord's brother, Prince Bao, only accounts for 10% of the shares, not to mention the cooperation between the two I can guarantee that the business of the military department will always be yours, and no one can take it away."

Xu Rui stopped laughing, and the smile on his face was of course gone.

"I'm sorry, I'm a person who eats everything, but I don't eat the food that comes from me! I really don't know how big the Baiye Commercial Bank is, I only know that Tianbao Pavilion has it, and Baiye Commercial Bank does not have it, and it can't be, why are you telling me the conditions here? ”

Li Pengcheng sneered: "Captain Xu has to think clearly, as the so-called cooperation is mutually beneficial, if you miss this opportunity, not only will you never be able to get the approval of Tianbao Pavilion, but even the original business will not be able to continue to do it again." ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "What Brother Li said is extremely true, since it is cooperation, it is better for you to merge Baiye Commercial Bank into Tianbao Pavilion, I may you have a share, by the way, I am afraid you don't know how many treasures there are in Tianbao Pavilion, so let's put it this way, even King Yu only accounts for one percent of the shares." ”

"You!"

Xu Rui's original words were returned, and Li Pengcheng suddenly got up, and his face turned red in an instant.

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "I'm sorry, I just said something wrong, there is one thing I don't want to eat, and that is a threat!" Since Brother Li, you don't have any sincerity at all, and I don't want to waste time with you, Ange, send off! ”

As soon as these words came out, An Ge suddenly came out of the back of the house, and arched his hand towards Li Pengcheng and said, "Distinguished guest, please." ”

Li Pengcheng stared at Xu Rui and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Xu Rui, I know that your holy family is in Zhenglong, but don't forget that the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, Dawei is our world after all, if there is no support from the nobles, you will not be able to move an inch in Changxing City, if you don't believe it, let's see!"

After speaking, he snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and left An Ge who led the way directly behind him.

Xu Rui squinted at his back, sneered, got up and walked into the back hall.

"Young master, are you really going to tear your face with the princelings?"

An Ge asked uneasily.

Xu Rui took out a small box from under the table, stuffed a silver ticket of 50,000 taels and a Rejuvenation Pill into it, and said, "Even the King of Liao doesn't dare to tear his face with the Xungui Group, let alone my little arms and legs?" ”

"The young master ......"

Before An Ge's words were finished, Xu Rui handed him the box and said, "Give this thing to Li Kuang, I heard that the commander of Jinyiwei is going to be unlucky, but it is an opportunity for him, and he should use the contents urgently." ”

An Ge took the box and wanted to say more, but he saw Xu Rui pick up the pen and write a few words on the paper, then stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to him.

"Let Ye Shi send a message to King Liao, he will be interested."

An Ge took the letter, he couldn't help it, and persuaded: "Young master, although Li Pengcheng is arrogant, one thing is right, once he tears his face with the Xungui Group, it will be a big trouble. ”

Xu Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you, how can my little arms and legs be qualified to turn against them?"

However, the Xungui Group is not invincible in the world, some people have been waiting to turn their faces with them for a long time, and there is no need for the young master to come out, besides, it is just a small Li Pengcheng, why does he represent the entire Xungui Group? ”

As he spoke, the corners of Xu Rui's mouth hooked up with a sneer: "I don't know when I changed my luck, I was worried that there was no reason to clean him up, so I actually sent it to the door myself, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
